if you string some netting in between, you can make a volleyball net!
ReplyDeleteWHERE DID YOU FIND THE PVC 120" CONNECTOR AT?
ReplyDeleteSorry, I messed up. It is called a 45 degree connector and I got it at Menards. Thanks for pointing this out. I fixed it in my blog as well.
DeleteC'est une superbe idée , bravo pour cette belle création

Thank you so much for featuring my post.
DeleteI made one of these but like a person's hammock she kept falling off while trying to get her to lay down...so I upgraded it to be like one I owned years ago. instead of putting a cap on the end posts I put a T, then put caps on each end of the T's. Then I screwed in the hooks on each cap and hooked the strings to them. Works great.
ReplyDeleteOops I forgot to add that I put a 3" piece of pvc into each side of the T's, then put the caps on the ends of those.
